Courtesy of a great remix by Mr Morales and some very powerful vocals from Lonnie Gordon.
The piano in this is pure class and just brings so much life to this track.
Top class house music.
This track should have been much bigger and is one which escaped my initial attention.
It was one which I don't ever recall hearing out in the clubs.
Very much on an Allister Whitehead type of vibe.
Quality!
Lonnie Gordon - Do You Want It
(Bad Yard Club Mix)
The remix is much more like a Frankie Knuckles remix, super silky and super smooth and hence his influence via Def Mix was certainly being closely studied by Morales.
Great vocals and such a superb classic house feel.
This track should have been way bigger that it was, 35 years on it still sounds absolutely epic.
Classic house music indeed!
Going to take you higher!
Slam Slam Featuring Dee C. Lee - Move (Dance All Night)
(Slammin' 12")
The combination of the genius of Kevin Sanderson and the amazing vocals of Paris Grey (a.k.a. Shanna Jackson) have stood the test of time from the very early days of house.
This is another of their classic tracks with an exquisite Def Mix courtesy of another house legends Mr Frankie Knuckles (R.I.P) and Mr David Morales.
Glorious house music and Paris' vocals are off the chart on this.
It is of course a remake of Stephanie Mills original, but even though this is now nearly 27 years old, it still sounds amazing.
Pure joy!
Inner City - What You Gonna Do With My Lovin'
(Def Mix)
Mariah's amazing vocals and Morales superb remixing have combined on so many tracks and they are always brilliant.
Right back to the first Mariah remix (Dream Lover) he did in 1992 where he requested that Mariah re-performed her vocals, which was unheard of at the time.
This is very much in the same tried and tested formula, Mariah's honey coated vocals and Morales fierce percussion and delightful piano.
Vocal house music at it's best.
Mariah Carey - Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme)
(Morales Club Mix)
There was a time in the early 90's when she was one of the best house Diva's.
There were loads of mixes of this track which was hammered throughout 1993.
It brings back fond memories of Hard Times in Huddersfield/Mirfield as it was always a big track there.
It's hard to select a favourite mix of this as the ones below are all superb.
Take your pick, they are all fabulous!
A true house classic!
Juliet Roberts - Caught In The Middle
(K-Klass Mix)
Juliet Roberts - Caught In The Middle
(Def Classic 12" Mix)
It's just testament to the marvellous production virtues of the legend that is David Morales.
Like Frankie before him he is just a musical genius with an expert eye in adding great percussion and wonderful piano to create dance music magic.
Hats off Sir!
I gave my love, I gave my love...
Jason Walker - All To You
(David Morales Classic Mix)
Courtesy of a stellar remix from Mr Morales, this certainly less commercial than "Show Me Love" but showcases her powerful vocals better and is a quality piece of house music.
Some great percussion in there as with all Morales remixes.
Another slightly forgotten classic from yesteryear.
I want to thank you heavenly father!
Robin S - I Want To Thank You
(Bad Yard Club Mix)
Arguably the greatest year ever? Quite possibly.
The tracks that were produced back then were of such a high quality as the scene was just maturing nicely and the club scene was probably at it's all time peak of popularity.
Such an amazing time to be alive and experience.
This is a superb track as was pretty much everything that David and Satoshi did when they worked together.
Great vocals from Sandee, superb piano and a real class house classic of a track.
You give good love to me!
Sandee - Love Desire
(David Morales & Satoshi Tomiie's' House of Def Mix)
It's deep, atmospheric and features some kicking piano.
Come on, come on, come on!
Don't be stupid!
Preska- Let's Get Real
(Red Zone Mix)
Great vocals, great groove and great piano.
What more could you want?
Charlotte - Someday
(David Morales Extended Mix)
A deep throbbing groove with very little Brother Beyond, just lots of great piano and some good sax thrown in also.
House music doesn't have to be complex to hit the spot and this one certainly does.
Girl I'll house you!
Brother Beyond – The Girl I Used To Know
(Red Zone Mix)
This is Morales at his most Frankie-esque with some delightful piano guided this track throughout.
11 minutes of unadulterated quality classic house.
Just heavenly.
Don't let me go!
David Morales, Janice Robinson - Father
(David Morales Classic Epic Mix)
His status as a DJ and Remixer is already set in stone as one of house music's greatest.
This is a fine track and probably not one you'd expect.
Less housey and more vibey than his usual style, but it is very good and certainly hits the heights.
David Morales - Anarchy
Superbly produced and as smooth as you like.
Great remix by the legend that is Mr Morales.
Better believe!
Quality all round!
T-Bor & Jessica Rhodes - Rescue Me
(David Morales Classic Extended Mix)
When 2 legends collide you're bound to get something special and this is.
The remix and production genius of Mr Morales and the amazing vocals courtesy of Ms. Houston creates house music heaven and a true masterpiece.
It's long, very long at 11 mins plus, but it's never boring and keeps you encapsulated from start to finish taking you on a real journey.
It's making me all emotional!
Whitney Houston - So Emotional
(David Morales Emotional Club Mix)
A real club classic and a superb piece of classic house music from 1993.
Fantastic vocals, great lyrics, superb production and some marvellous piano - house music perfection.
Right up there with some of Mr Morales best remixes, which is extremely high praise.
Enjoy!
Sandy B - Feel Like Singin'
(Def Classic Mix)
I didn't realise at the time that Ten City were behind this.
Glorious vocals from Kim English and the obligatory superb remix from the legend Morales.
This brings back great memories of Hard Times.
Kim English - Time For Love
(Morales Club Mix)
There were then a milion different remixes again most of them tosh.
Howerver, this version is pure class, as you'd expect from Mr Morales.
The piano in this is just tops.
Tell you what I need!
Enjoy.
David Morales Feat. Blondewearingblack - Hideaway
(Original Mix)
This was also a big Hacienda track and I have very fond memories of grooving away on the dancefloor when this was dropped by Mr Park, way back in 1992.
I can't keep from falling in love!
Pure class!
Madonna - Deeper And Deeper
(David's Classic 12'' Mix)
Everything they touched was pure gold and this is no exception.
Just a truly wonderful piece of classic house, taking an average MJ track and turning it into a classic house stomper.
Geniuses at work!
Michael Jackson - Love Never Felt So Good
(David Morales & Frankie Knuckles Classic Tribute Mix)
